On uniqueness and nonuniqueness of ancient ovals (2105.13830v2)

Published 28 May 2021 in math.DG and math.AP

Abstract: In this paper, we prove that any nontrivial $\mathrm{SO}(k )\times \mathrm{SO}(n+1-k)$-symmetric ancient compact noncollapsed solution of the mean curvature flow agrees up to scaling and rigid motion with the $\mathrm{O}(k)\times \mathrm{O}(n+1-k)$-symmetric ancient ovals constructed by Hershkovits and the second author. This confirms a conjecture by Angenent-Daskalopoulos-Sesum. On the other hand, for every $k\geq 2$ we also construct a $(k-1)$-parameter family of uniformly $(k+1)$-convex ancient ovals that are only $\mathbb{Z}{k}_{2}\times \mathrm{O}(n+1-k)$-symmetric. This gives counterexamples to a conjecture of Daskalopoulos.
